Daystar Ministry for Prophecy, Dreams and Visions
1990’s Outpouring of God’s Spirit for Heavenly Communion with Him to take the Church to Maturity by Paula M. Cavu
I was able to discern the timing and the nature of God’s special outpouring of His Spirit from the 1990’s from dreams and visions that I received and from the dreams of many others in the Body of Christ. That which I discerned from the spiritual activities in the Church in the 1990’s dovetailed perfectly with the teaching and leading of God in dreams and spiritual experiences. God’s calling, preparation and commissioning in my life, which I am sharing here, fits perfectly into His purpose for the outpouring of the 1990’s.
As with many revival outpouring of God’s Spirit in Church history, Christians focused basically on the physical manifestations of God’s Spirit. This has always been a natural tendency for Christians as we have always been fundamentally naturally minded. Here, the physical needs and comforts of the natural body primarily overrides all other considerations for the benefits of the outpouring of God’s Spirit. This document will show that God’s purpose in the 1990’s outpouring did not major on physical beneficial and instructional manifestations (e.g. shaking of the body in relation to Heb. 12:25-29). Rather, God’s purpose was to fulfill Joel 2:28-29 in establishing credible and verifiable personal fellowship and communion with Him in credible dreams, visions and prophecy.
Thus, the fundamental message and common thread running through all that God was and is doing had to do with bringing His people to Himself so that He can directly teach and direct each one. It is for this particular purpose that the end time prophets and apostles were raised up in the churches, for it is in this way that the Lord can build His own Church.
Mtt 16: 17 And Jesus answered and said unto
him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed
[it] unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
18 And I say also unto thee, That thou
art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of
hell shall not prevail against it.
19 And I will give unto thee the keys
of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall
be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed
in heaven.
Ez 34: 11 For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold,
I, [even] I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out.
12 As a shepherd seeketh out his flock
in the day that he is among his sheep [that are] scattered; so will I seek
out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they have been
scattered in the cloudy and dark day.
13 And I will bring them out from the
people, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their
own land, and feed them upon the mountains of Israel by the rivers, and
in all the inhabited places of the country.
14 I will feed them in a good pasture, and
upon the high mountains of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they
lie in a good fold, and [in] a fat pasture shall they feed upon the mountains
of Israel.
15 I will feed my flock, and I will
cause them to lie down, saith the Lord GOD.
16 I will seek that which was lost,
and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up [that which
was] broken, and will strengthen that which was sick: but I will destroy
the fat and the strong; I will feed them with
judgment.
The audible calling of God in 1979 to feed His sheep in the way that He will reveal for the 1990’s outpouring
I was taking some data on a legume/grass compatibility experiment on an agricultural research station in March 1979. I was close to a busy highway and there were two loud tractors working nearby. As I finished a short prayer for some folks that I had been witnessing to, everything went strangely quiet and all I could hear was munching sounds coming from behind me. I turned around and saw a green and lush grass/legume paddock into which a large number of sheep had been loosed for grazing. I then saw that the noise I was hearing was the sound of the sheep chewing the vegetation. As soon as this chewing noise was resolved in my mind, I heard a firm male voice speak from behind me. The voice said, "Feed my sheep."
I instinctively turned around but there was no one behind me. Only now could I hear the noise of the highway and the tractors again. I then realized that the Lord God had spoken to me and joy flooded my being. I had been desperately asking God to speak to me since I became a Christian a few weeks before today.
This calling has and is being fulfilled by the testimony of Daystar Ministry to Christians all over the world on the Internet since 1996 and by ministry trips to India and Fiji.
The promise in a dream in 1982 of the coming liberty for the Church in the direct teaching and leading of the Spirit
Scene 1
I was standing on the seashore made of huge
boulders that jutted into the sea. The sea was so windy and rough that
I thought no boat could sail with the sea in that condition. Suddenly and
to my astonishment, right in front of me an animal that was like a cow
or an ass came out of the sea and onto the rock boulders. It had its two
front legs tied with a short length of rope like some Indian villages do
with their cows and horses to restrict their mobility and keep them in
their property. I wanted to go and set the ass free but I knew that I did
not have the liberty to do so as if it belonged to someone else.
Scene 2
Immediately the scene changed and I was now
standing on a sandy seashore at low tide. The sea was so calm and serene.
A little distance ahead of me and by the edge of the water I saw a black
ass that had come out of the sea. It was standing still with its front
legs tied with a short length of rope. A group of about four white missionaries
were standing around the animal and I wondered why they didn’t set the
ass free.
I then walked up to the ass, knelt down before its front legs and took out my pocket knife in order to cut the rope and set the animal free. When I brought the blade of my pocket knife to the rope I saw that the rope was so thick that there was no way I was going to be able to cut it. However, when the blade of my knife touched the rope it easily sliced through it like a knife through butter. I saw that the rope had been cut supernaturally by an extremely sharp knife.
Interpretation.
Presently the particular calling of God in
the dreamer (representing God’s end time apostolic and prophetic ministries)
has not been given God’s go ahead (rough sea where no boat could sail)
to go forth and set the church (ass) free from a basic bondage (rope tying
two front legs). However, the time is coming when God will give His end
time ministries the go ahead to go forth and minister to set the Church
free. This is the freedom that comes from of knowing God intimately to
be directly taught and led of His Spirit.
This promise began to be fulfilled en masse in the outpouring of God’s Spirit in the early 1990’s. Accordingly it began to outwork in Daystar Ministry in the early 1990’s. I was going to India to conduct seminars where believers were being discipled to be directly taught and led of God. Wherever I taught, God poured out of His Spirit so that Joel 2:28-29 was fulfilled. The promise of the outpouring of the Spirit upon “all flesh” was evidenced in all Christians having the ability to receive dreams and visions of the sleep state. Many non Christians were also receiving dreams with regards to convincing them about the truth of Jesus Christ being what the Bible claims Him to be, the Messiah and “the Way, the Truth and the Life.” The following report confirms the Joel 2:28-29 outpouring of God’s Spirit upon all flesh.

Ex-Moslems report why they chose
Jesus
Christians from 39 nations and 50 ethnic groups are represented in a study of some 600 ex-Moslems carried out by Fuller Theological Institute's Professor Dudley Woodberry. They speak of the reasons why they decided to leave Islam to follow Jesus, even in the face of heavy persecution, sacrifice and death threats.
The most important results:
- a growing number of Moslems are turning to
Jesus;
- a growing number of small groups are meeting
in secret, hiding their new faith even from their own families.
The most frequently mentioned reasons for conversion were:
1. Certainty of Salvation: according to Islamic tradition (Hadith), the bridge to heaven "is only as wide as a hair; not even good deeds guarantee admission to Paradise." Many were attracted by the certainty of salvation in Jesus.
2. Christ's character is particularly attractive: "He does not retaliate, is humble, loves the poor and outcasts; the power of his love is unique, and one can enter a relationship with him, completely different to Islam, in which a personal relationship with God is unthinkable."
3. Christians' character: "Christians are the only people who really work for justice for the poor and repressed; Christians' unconditional love, and their peaceful and contented aura are very noticeable."
4. Dreams and visions: over 25% said that dreams and visions were decisive in them finding Christ. Jesus very frequently appears to Moslems as a white figure:
- One believer from Guinea recounts the dream
of a figure in a white robe, calling the man to come to Him. In a related
dream, he recalls that the same figure's arms were extended, beckoning
him. He now knows that the
figure was Christ.
- A convert from the Middle East who had been
afflicted with severe headaches was lying on his bed after having prayed
for his sick son. A man with a beautiful, peaceful face appeared. Dressed
in white, the figure walked to the head of the man's bed and touched him
three times on the head. The next morning his headaches were gone. His
son, too, was fully healed.
- A West African man had a clear vision of
a devout Moslem in hell and a poor Christian, who had been unable to give
alms, in heaven. A voice explained to him that the difference was belief
in Jesus.
5. Supernatural experiences: a number of ex-Moslems
had supernatural experiences which were decisive in them finding Christ.
An Egyptian Moslem was reading the gospels, and had just reached Luke 3
when a strong wind
entered the room, and a voice said "I am Jesus
Christ, whom you hate. I am the Lord you are seeking." "I cried and cried,
and decided to follow Jesus that day," he remembers.
The Lord appeared to a lady in an open vision in 1993 and confirmed the teaching from the seminar concerning the direct teaching and leading of God for all believers
I had been teaching at the leadership seminar in Ranchi, India on how all believers can hear God directly and intimately for themselves. It didn't matter whether they were white or black, educated or uneducated, or whether they were from a village or from a town. All believers were worthy in Christ and could partake of the hidden manna in the scriptures and in dreams and visions because it is the Holy Spirit who reveals them unto us (1Cor.2:7-13).
A recently converted Hindu lady was staying with her family in the servant's quarters of the house I was staying in. The family was converted to Christianity in their village and they were subsequently forced out of the village. The lady was a very quiet and humble person and was always faithful in all that she did. She had been attending the seminar with the lady of the house.
She woke up on this particular morning and decided to get up and pray. As she was praying, she saw a vision which astounded her. She saw a great harvest of golden grain on the ground. As she looked upon it, she saw a golden throne coming down from heaven and was placed on the top of the grain harvest. Then she saw Jesus Christ, dressed in a brilliant white garment, coming down from heaven to be seated on the golden throne.
Jesus had a golden pot which He offered to the lady. She hesitated and said that she was not worthy. Jesus said, "Daughter, take and eat." The lady then began to say that she was from the village, she was poor and that she was not educated. Jesus repeated, "Daughter, take and eat," and then the vision left her.
There was a big commotion outside the window when I was having breakfast. The lady of the house then rushed in with the lady who got the vision. They were both excited and crying when they related the vision to me. I related to them how the Lord had appeared to the lady to confirm the teaching at the seminar yesterday. The golden pot contained the manna that was hidden in the ark of the covenant, together with the two tablets of The Law, in the Tabernacle (Heb.9:4). This spoke of the hidden manna of Old Testament scriptures as well as the hidden manna of symbolism and metaphors of prophecies, dreams and visions. The lady shared the vision at the Sunday church service and the whole congregation was in awe and wonder at this special visitation to a quiet and humble lady.
The golden harvest of those who hear God in dreams, visions and prophecy and who lovingly obey Him
Clearly the Lord was revealing that a special golden harvest was taking place in 1993. I am able to conclude through the work of Daystar Ministry that this is a harvest of all believers who are established in the Bible and who through dreams, visions and prophecy (Joel 2:28-29), hear and obey the teaching and leading of the Lord.
Accordingly many dreams and visions have been about God’s people crossing water (Jordan) to the other side (Promised Land of God’s heavenly communion). In the same way and in the same message there have been many dreams and visions about God’s sheep entering or being herded to enter into God’s sheepfold. God’s sheepfold being the end time Church who hear the voice of the Shepherd and who is destined for glory. This is the Church that is built on the foundation of the ministries of God’s apostles and prophets.
Eph 2: 19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers
and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household
of God;
20 And are built upon the foundation
of the apostles and prophets, Jesus
Christ himself being the chief corner [stone];
21 In whom all the building fitly framed
together groweth unto an holy temple
in the Lord:
22 In whom ye also are builded together
for an habitation of God through the
Spirit.
Example of the outpouring of God’s Spirit for the golden harvest in Paula’s ministry trip to Fiji in June, 2001
FIJI DAYSTAR MINISTRY REPORT on Thurs. 21 June, 2001
The two nights of seminars at the Lautoka Pentecostal Church were such a wonderful blessing for all. The leadership and the people recognize that there is an attainable level of communion with God in which all spiritual blessings in Christ Jesus can be realized and possessed. After the first seminar the present leader and father (Ps John Dass) of the Pentecostal Church of Fiji said, “If only we can attain to that which you are teaching.” I immediately replied that they can and they will, just as it has begun to be in significant evidence at the Hindi speaking Calvary AOG Church at Lautoka, in the Hindi speaking Glad Tidings Church of Nadi and in the Fijian speaking Living Waters Church at Tavua.
As for the second night of the seminar, if anyone had any doubt about the teaching, they were certainly dispelled forever. The Spirit moved wonderfully so that towards the end of the session the people were really enjoying hearing from the Spirit in the interpretation of scriptures with hidden meanings and in the interpretation of dreams. The night concluded with the folks interpreting my dream about the future make up of the government following the elections due on 25th August, 2001. Well, you can imagine how awesome that was as they realized that God can really show “things to come” concerning anything that involves his people. The great response to the presiding pastor’s altar call, the background anointed music and singing of skillful musicians, the prayers over yielded and weeping vessels all contributed to an amazing night of the work of God. Ps John Dass said that about 250 people were at the first seminar. If this was so then about 300 folks turned up for the second night’s seminar.
I had to disappoint a couple of pastors who wanted me to come and speak at their meetings because I could not fit them into my schedule. A couple of the musicians that missed out in the altar call because they were singing, pressed in to speak to me after the meeting about the excitement in their hearts. One music leader followed me with her friends to the house where I went for another cup of tea and fellowship with the family of an old school friend who is a General Manager for the Fiji Sugar Corporation in Lautoka. All she wanted was to be prayed for in order that that God moved in her life in accordance with that which was taught.
I was reminded of the awe, wonder and excitement of the people in India back in the early 1980’s when God would heal and deliver mightily under a special anointing for signs, wonders and miracles. Only this time the same wonder and excitement was for a special work of the Spirit, under an anointing to establish them in credible and verifiable communion with God, in which are available all God’s spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ! Halleluiah!!!
Folks, a special and wonderful River of God is flowing that will make glad the city of God (Church) and I feel not to stop but to continue in earnest to go forth to the churches and proclaim the truth of this River! In fact, a dream has revealed that God has given Daystar Ministry a promotion amongst the “commander ranks” of his end time ministers. Let us pray accordingly that God chosen doors will continue to open and God chosen apostles will be raised up to call people into the River that is flowing from the throne of God at this very time! The purpose of God for this particular Daystar Trip to Fiji is now completed.
Some of the benefits of being directly taught and led of God
Jer 23: 21 I have not sent these prophets,
yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.
22 But if they had stood in my counsel,
and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned
them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.
Jn 10:2 But he that entereth in by the door
is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep
hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them
out.
4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep,
he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
5 And a stranger will they not follow, but
will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
Isa 55: 8 For my thoughts [are] not your thoughts,
neither [are] your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
9 For [as] the heavens are higher than
the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your
thoughts.
10 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow
from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh
it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to
the eater:
11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out
of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish
that which I please, and it shall prosper [in the thing] whereto I sent
it.
12 For ye shall go out with joy, and be led
forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before
you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap [their] hands.
13 Instead of the thorn shall come up
the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and
it shall be to the LORD for a name, for an everlasting sign [that] shall
not be cut off.
The simplicity of the spirit of Christ in hearing and doing the will of God is the way of the Cross to all the treasures of divine wisdom and knowledge
What matters to us as God’s disciples is to hear God, establish and believe that it is indeed God who is speaking then we spontaneously and lovingly obey above all else. This is the spirit of the Christ in believers.
Heb 10: 6 In burnt offerings and [sacrifices]
for sin thou hast had no pleasure.
7. Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume
of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.
8 Above when he said, Sacrifice and
offering and burnt offerings and [offering] for sin thou wouldest not,
neither hadst pleasure [therein]; which are offered by the law;
9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy
will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.
This spirit of Christ was revealed in the midst of the spirit and ways of the world in the life of Joshua and Caleb. It was recorded particularly for the end time generation.Num 14: 22 Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice;
1Cor 10: 11 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.
It is the spirit of the world identifying and outworking in the ways of the world that does not see nor understand the simplicity of the spirit of Christ in just hearing and doing God’s instructions. This is the way of the Cross and the way into all the divine treasures of wisdom and knowledge.2 Cor 11: 2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present [you as] a chaste virgin to Christ.
Col 2: 2 That their hearts might be comforted,
being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance
of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of
the Father, and of Christ;
3 In whom are hid all the treasures
of wisdom and knowledge.
Jn 16: 13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth,
is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself;
but whatsoever he shall hear, [that] shall he speak: and he will shew you
things to come.
14 He shall glorify me: for he shall
receive of mine, and shall shew [it] unto you.
15 All things that the Father hath are
mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew [it]
unto you.
1 Cor 2: 9 But as it is written, Eye hath not
seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things
which God hath prepared for them that love him.
10 But God hath revealed [them] unto
us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things
of God.
The believer that is discipled to be directly taught and led of the Spirit attains unto the maturity of oneness with Christ
"For the Lord giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding" (Pr.2:6).
"To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding;
To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity;
To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion" (Pr.1:2-4).
Heb 4: 11 And he gave some, apostles; and some,
prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
12 For the perfecting of the saints,
for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith,
and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure
of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
Gen 1: 26. And God said, Let us make man in
our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish
of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over
all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
27 So God created man in his [own] image,
in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
